Digital printing

The path from the original thought to its expression on paper has be­come shorter. Bit by bit, digital printing conquers the traditional terrain of professional image reproduction. Our digital roller coatings meet every requirement, whether for durability in office use or for pro­fessional printing in ever wider formats. In co-operation based on mu­tual trust with the prominent equipment manufacturers, we develop new, extremely resistant surfaces for rollers. With our on-site manu­facturing in Europe and Asia, we make a crucial contribution to the efficiency of our customers.

Flexographic printing

Flexographic printing with increased flexibility: The future belongs to the direct laser engraving process. In the same way that digital photo- graphy reduces the use of film and becomes more and more efficient, consistent digital imaging with direct laser engraving will become generally accepted in flexographic printing. You will work faster and you will profit from the consistently high quality of Böttcher products. We supply the best material world-wide in each category and - if needed - “just in time”.

Rotogravure

Built for the extreme. The impression cylinder in new, faster and wider gravure presses must hold up under enormous loads. Impression roll coverings are therefore designed for durability in extreme working conditions. But Böttcher impression cylinder coverings can do even more. Our sophis-ticated materials, with outstanding elastic properties, also reduce heat build-up. We achieve consistently reproducible elec­tromechanical characteristics by developing unique material combina­tions. And we back that up with a fast, reliable delivery service - all over the world.

Our spectrum opens new perspectives

The graphic arts industry looks back on a very long tradition. Some processes have been used for generations, others are innovations which present a whole new set of challenges. Böttcher develops in the force field between these two poles.

We optimise traditional printing technology with our rotogravure impression rollers and we develop roller surfaces for digital printing or flexo sleeves in direct laser engraving. With this broad spectrum, we support each of our customers’ developments and always offer the same high quality and service world-wide.
